Abstract

We prove a full completeness theorem for MLL without the Mix rule. This is done by interpreting a proof as a dinatural transformation in a *-autonomous category of reflexive topological abelian groups first studied by Barr, denoted ℛ𝒯𝒜. In Section 2, we prove the unique interpretation theorem for a binary provable MLL-sequent. In Section 3, we prove a completeness theorem for binary sequents in MLL without the Mix rule, where we interpret formulas in the category ℛ𝒯𝒜. The theorem is proved by investigating the concrete structure of ℛ𝒯𝒜, especially that arising from Pontrjagin's work on duality.
